A Final Feast of Love: Texas Roadhouse’s Touching Tribute to a Beloved Dog

When Hunter Metzger ordered one last special meal for his ailing dog, he never expected the heartfelt response that would follow.


In Ephrata, Pennsylvania, Hunter Metzger wanted to make his dog Iris’s final day as special as possible. Facing the heartbreaking decision to say goodbye to the beloved eight-year-old Great Dane, Metzger ordered a meal fit for a queen from Texas Roadhouse: steak, sides, and fresh bread. In a note attached to his online order, he mentioned it was his dog’s last meal and asked for it to be made with love. What happened next turned a somber moment into a lasting memory of kindness.

Touched by the message, Texas Roadhouse kitchen manager Kate Weston and her team went above and beyond. They carefully prepared the meal, added a note of condolence, labeled the container “Made with LOVE,” and even personally shared their sympathies when Metzger arrived. The restaurant later refunded the meal as an act of compassion. Metzger shared the story online, where it quickly resonated with animal lovers everywhere. As Weston put it, the team simply hoped to show that small acts of kindness can bring comfort in life’s hardest moments.
